Who would care, the descendants of Thos. Jefferson and the other 18th century American illuminati? Our society is at an end stage. Calculated injustice; the oldest Marxist trick, no less relevent because it's in its sexual rather than economic phase.

Classical music may continue to be performed for another 250 years, but it is surely as doomed as our very civilization. It's only a matter of time before what we thought was great is unknown to the world; and only another interval, before it's lost to history. Oh well, it was a nice run.

Here the last is first, but the list should be familiar no matter which point you emphasize. The future is now:

  1. The creation of racism offences.
  2. Continual change to create confusion
  3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
  4. The undermining of schools' and teachers' authority
  5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
  6. The promotion of excessive drinking
  7. Emptying of churches
  8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime
  9. Dependency on the state or state benefits
  10. Control and dumbing down of media
  11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family

Full frontal attack on Western civilization. Only a war will stop it, because the left is too deeply entrenched.

“Classical Music Will Disappear.
Will classical music disappear?”

That...reminded me of this:

The elected officials are rising up in their disgust and intend to throw out the ELECTORATE.

They mean to replace us.

Haha no.

There is so much baroque/classical/romantic music available on YouTube, it makes modern music seem almost nonexistent.

What we won’t hear is a lot of the “electronic noise” (quote from John Lennon) that the airwaves are surcharged with.

Just because Satan’s influence is getting stronger and stronger does not mean he’s headed for a victory.

You understand what is happening. Few do.

Good for you.

Not while I'm still breathing, but I'm 64 and don't know how long I have...

I was watching a youtube video of a Fourth of July celebration at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. The employees were all dressed in 1700s clothing. An employee read aloud the Declaration of Independence. The Mormon Tabernacle choir were guests and sang “Yankee Doodle” while the tourists sang along. As the camera panned through the tourists, I noticed each and every one of them was white. The only black person in the video was one of the costumed employees. And I got to thinking, how long will places like Williamsburg continue to exist? It’s mainly white people who visit such places, white patriots who care about American history and the Founding Fathers. As their numbers dwindle, nobody will care anymore and such places will not have enough visitors to stay afloat.

I had the same thought during a recent visit to Knott’s Berry Farm in California. They have a reproduction of Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell there and a dramatization of the writing of the Declaration of Independence. On a busy weekend, my friend and I were the only visitors at the attraction. How long before they tear it down?

Everything we value is going to disappear. It seems inevitable at this point. It’s a tragedy.

Never happen. Won’t stop them from trying, obviously.

Of course not! There’s plenty of popular Classical music still around. Classic Rock, Classic Country...

Agree with your comment as to only a war will stop the frontal attack.(And that assumes we will win a debatable proposition.) I think that soon actual fighting will break out in American cities. Our police are increasingly under open attack by blacks and extreme leftists. Such attacks may be the opening shots of the coming Social War.

You have the right of it. The junction where we might have been able to choose otherwise is a rapidly shrinking image in our mind’s rear view mirror.

It is the reality that few wish to acknowledge. We will not vote, debate or reason our way out of this.

Dennis Prager has stated many times the best new Classical music today are movie soundtracks. You still can hear music composed for movies as if Schoenberg never lived with melody, harmony, and embracing the full spectrum of human emotions. As long as current composers outside the movies still are composing atonal and 12 tone pieces the public will not give a damn.

All my favorite 80’s bands are wicked classic.
Went and saw Ringo’s All Star Band. Almost every song was a total classic.

Yeah, these guys are complaining too much. Why go to a symphony hall to hear classical music when any elevator will do the job for free?

“It’s only a matter of time before what we thought was great is unknown to the world; and only another interval, before it’s lost to history.”

No, even if Western Civilization goes down the drain, classical music will still be preserved, because the Asians appreciate it and will perpetuate it.

But, but, but ... Vevo.

Sorry to ruin your day. Unfortuntely it is not nonexistent. It's just mostly total crap.

But, then again, there is Happy

That’s the impetus for keeping the borders open and the push for amnesty.

They tried to kill us off in Viet Nam ... that didn’t work ... castrate us with feminism ... that didn’t work ... confuse us with homosexuality ... that didn’t work ... so now they’re overwhelming us with others not of us ... and it just might be working
